Plain Tart w/ Shredded Coconut, Granola, and Honey
*2 out of 10
Ingredients:
- Plain tart yogurt
- Shredded coconut
- Granola
- Honey
I really love all the flavors in this yogurt... just not together like this. Everything in this yogurt has a very distinct and strong taste of its own and the flavors just clash with each other. It's kind of like trying to get hipsters to play nice with one another when all they want to do is do their own thing.
I think what makes this especially bad is the mixture of plain tart and honey. If it weren't for the honey, this yogurt combination might be tolerable, but as it is, it's just too overbearingly honey-ey and sweet. So as I said, though all the flavors that make up this yogurt are good in their own light, they don't work well together and I would do well to stay away from putting them all in one cup.

Coconut Frenzy
*8 out of 10
Ingredients:
- Toasted coconut yogurt
- Coconut flakes
- Sliced almond
- Graham cracker (crushed/ground)
Maybe a title of "Coconut Lover's Dream" would be better suiting. Believe me when I say this is the ultimate coconut lover's dream... this yogurt is bursting with coconut flavor. But that's not to say it's only for those of you who like coconut. Mike, who doesn't particularly like coconut went koo-koo for coconuts. All the elements blend together very well and will have your taste-buds begging for more. Coconut on coconut is great. The ground graham crackers (make sure to put a lot in your cup, you won't be disappointed) compliment the yogurt almost better than the coconut on coconut combo—it's that good. Add some sliced almonds for texture, stir it all together and be prepared for a mouthful of coconut goodness. This is by far my favorite non-tart yogurt combination.
Try it. Please. I beg you. It is good.
(The reason I didn't give this a higher rating is because it is pretty sweet and I don't see myself getting this every time. But every now and then, I will most definitely indulge myself in this sweet, delicious extravagance.)
